Scattering of electromagnetic waves by an anisotropic plasma-coated conducting cylinder

This paper considers the scattering of electromagnetic waves by an infinitely long anisotropic plasma-coated conducting cylinder. The source is assumed to be a magnetic current filament which gives rise to an incident magnetic field with only an axial component. Complete expressions for the scattered electric and magnetic fields are obtained. Scattering by an anisotropic plasma column and that by an isotropic plasma-coated conducting cylinder are special cases of the present problem.
